Hi guys. New here. 32 y/o. I recently had some testosterone blood work done and my total T was at 267. My endo said since its still within the normal ranges i don't need trt. But i feel tired fatigued all the time and i feel i need it. Firstly thoughts on that ? Secondly which way would be the best route to go, oral or injectables and thirdly i have high ldl so should is that going to be elevated as i read somewhere that it will ?

If your Endo is entirely fixated on the numbers and refuses to address your symptoms, then I would look elsewhere. For me, injections have been the way to go after a failed bout with the Androgel.

32 is way too young to start TRT. You're at least a decade too early. I would concentrate on other factors like diet, exercise, weight and a good supplement/vitamin regime.
 
I do agree that the OP needs to try to fix this naturally first before considering TRT.

The guidelines for TRT are clear, under 300 ng/dL and some doctors use an some doctors use a cut off at 400 ng/dL even this cut off is too low for some men out there in the gray area with elevated levels of SHBG.

Total testosterone doesn’t define testosterone deficiency and any doctor basing their decisions solely based off total T is improperly diagnosing men.

According to the guidelines, the OP qualifies for TRT and is just dealing with an ignorant endocrinologist.

Endocrinologist’s are notoriously bad at diagnosing and treating male hormones deficiencies.

Doctors need to stop this cookbook medicine approach to care, treating everyone the same when we are all individuals and take a humanistic, compassionate care.
